Funds raised at this event help fund Mango Tree’s current project, YO MUJER (I, Woman – in Spanish). YO MUJER is dedicated to helping women and children displaced from the Colombian countryside adjusting to life in Bogota, Colombia. YO MUJER was founded by Teresa Díaz and Diva Trujillo, who themselves are victims of the violence that forced them to flee the countryside and head for the relative safety of Bogota. To date, more than 700 families have been helped by YO MUJER. The Inter-American Development Bank has an article on YO MUJER which tells their story in vivid detail.
